Treatment: Drugs - Placebo
Treatment: Drugs - Fulvestrant

Experimental: Taselisib + Fulvestrant - Participants received taselisib 4 milligrams (mg) taken orally QD beginning at Cycle 1, Day 1 and fulvestrant 500 mg by IM injection at Cycle 1, Days 1 and 15, and then on Day 1 of each subsequent 28-day cycle until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or study termination by the Sponsor.

Placebo comparator: Placebo + Fulvestrant - Participants received placebo taken orally once daily (QD) beginning at Cycle 1, Day 1, and fulvestrant 500 mg administered by intramuscular (IM) injection at Cycle 1, Days 1 and 15, and then on Day 1 of each subsequent 28-day cycle until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or study termination by the Sponsor.


Treatment: Drugs: Taselisib
Taselisib 4 mg was administered as two tablets of 2 mg each as per the schedule specified in the respective arm.

Treatment: Drugs: Placebo
Placebo matching to taselisib was administered as per the schedule specified in the respective arm.

Treatment: Drugs: Fulvestrant
Fulvestrant 500 mg was administered as two IM injections of 250 mg each as per the schedule specified in the respective arms.
